My daughter's in-laws are staunch Republicans and will definitely not listen to [BLEEP] from anyone. 

I am really nervous this is going to turn into a [BLEEP] show.

That sounds like a very legitimate concern and worry....... I think we all know how these liberal snowflake Democrats love to shake the tree to see what falls out sand stir up trouble. Take the advice of someone that had a few run ins with his family over the years......DO Not resort to violence or even respond to him by raising your voice, that will only make his resolve stronger. If everyone just ignores him, he'll eventually make himself look like the fool he is, and THAT is the worst thing that can happen to him. But... if he takes the 1st swing, do not hesitate to back hand him back to reality.
